I haven't actually measured the engines to see if it would even be
possible to fit an EX250 motor in a rebel 250, but it seems like the
radiator and related stuff could be mounted on the rebel frame with a
minimum of hassle, and getting the front and rear sprockets to line up
should theoretically be doable, and I'm already thinking about how to
adapt the controls...Has anyone already researched and shot down this
idea? Or, conversely, know if it would be possible and have any
suggestions? I like the idea of the tiny little cruiser that can
actually go fast, . Plus, I'm over 6'1, so I'd look like a clown on a
tricycle on it, which would be pretty awesome. Thanks!

Who on earth bother? And then there'd be the matter of plumbing in the
ignition module, and a zillion other things. Forget it.

I suppose he could buy a small cruiser with the EX250 engine
already installed by Kawasaki... but it probably wouldn't
make him look enough of a clown.
